    parents don’t appreciate her for her‚ but most importantly it shows that Squeaky cares about what her family thinks of her. Another example that shows that you should be an individual even in the toughest times is when the article states‚ “...she nods to congratulate me‚ then she smiles‚...and I smile back.” This quote shows that it takes courage to be yourself because towards the beginning of the story Gretchen and Squeaky hated each other’s guts‚ so it took her a lot of courage to smile
